In an on-going effort to improve its facilities to become a model for Division I programs, Morehead State added a short-game practice area to Eagle Trace Golf Course in the summer of 2009. The area added to the courses existing practice amenities, which includes a driving range and putting green and was a crucial upgrade for the Eagle golf teams. It includes a practice green with surrounding bunkers and fairway, allowing players to work on all aspects of their short game, from putting to chipping to trap shots.

Living on CampusMorehead State offers students several options

for living on campus. Incoming students have the option of many residence halls that are either two-person or four-person units. Upperclassmen can choose from three apartment-style living residence halls. Morehead State has begun the

process of refurbishing all of its residence halls, including Alumni Tower this year. Nunn Hall and the Mignon Complex have been renovated as well. During the next several years, plans call for all residence halls to be renovated and updated with more modern amenities and state-of-the art technological updates as well.

Staying in ShapeWork is progressing on the new $30 million

dollar Student Recreation Center with plans to have the facility open by spring 2011. The new Student Recreation Center will house state-of-art exercise equipment, a new aquatics facility, and many other exciting and adventurous options for Morehead State students. Meanwhile, MSU stu-dent-athletes will benefit from the new dedicated academic facility, which will house classrooms, computer labs and all the modern amenities to help MSU student athletes achieve their maxi-

mum potential and earn their degrees. Currently, the Morehead State University Well-

ness Center offers students an exceptional facility for workouts. The on-campus facility opened in 1996 and recently expanded in March of 2008 to include more equipment and services for students, faculty, staff and retirees. The center also offers an aerobic room, a jogging/walking track, a class-room and three indoor tennis courts. Equipment includes top-of-the-line weight training instru-ments and cardiovascular units. Once the Student Recreation Center is completed, the current Well-ness Center will be transformed exclusively into a new Student-Athlete Academic Center.

On-Campus DiningStudents have a plethora of options for dining

on campus. The newly renovated Marketplace in the Adron Doran University Center offers home style cooking along with many other fast food

and health food options, including made-to-order Asian food, made-to-order sandwiches and sal-ads, and Taco Bell and Chick-Fil-A. ADUC also unveiled its newest food and beverage option this past year when Starbucks opened a facility. Alumni

Tower dining center offers students a buffet-style dining experience as well as a delicious salad bar option. Alumni Tower also houses a convenience store. Students can choose from a variety of meal plans that suits each ones individual dining habits.

Building Towards the FutureIt is an exciting time in the life of Morehead

State University as several new building projects have been completed, are nearing completion, or have broken ground. The new $30 million Center for Health, Education, and Research, a joint project between MSU, St. Claire Regional Medical Center and the University of Kentucky opened in the spring of 2010. The largest con-struction project in the history of MSU and St. Claire Regional Medical Center, the new facility of 90,237-square feet houses MSUs departments of nursing and imaging sciences, UKs physician assistant program and St. Claires family medicine clinic and health education center.

The $30 million dollar Student Recreation

Center is now nearing completion. The new build-ing will give students a first-class fitness facility.

The $15.4 million, 45,000 square-foot Space Science Center houses the Ronald G. Eaglin Space Science Program, including a space mission control center, a micro/nano fabrication center, space systems development laboratory, and the Digital Star Theatre, a 110-seat multi-functional state-of-the-art digital classroom which will house a 360-degree full dome projection theatre to be used as an instructional tool for MSU stu-dents, K-12 students and for planetarium shows designed for the general public. Ground was bro-ken for the facility in 2007 and opened in June 2009. MSU is one of only a handful of Space Sci-

ence curriculum programs in the United States. MSU also recently completed and opened

the new Equine Health Education Center as part of the Derrickson Agricultural Complex. This 6,000-square foot building is dedicated to the training of students in modern equine veterinary technology. It is the only dedicated equine medical and surgical facility in the nation that is associated with a standalone veterinary technology program.

Developed at a cost of more than $800,000, Morehead State now boasts a new molecular core biology research laboratory in Lappin Hall. The new lab is one of only a few at a regional public university, and the facility will give MSU students an advantage in the study field of macromol-ecules, including DNA research.

Stephanie Barker, a former professional golfer and experienced collegiate coach, is in her third season as womens head golf coach at More-head State.

Barker was hand-picked in September of 2007 to resurrect the MSU womens golf program, which had last competed during the 1982-83 season. Barker, who came to MSU after six sea-sons as womens head golf coach at the University of Kentucky, is only the second womens head golf coach in the Universitys history. Before her first official season began, Barker attended the prestigious NCAA Women Coaches Academy in Denver, Colo., in June 2008.

Barkers first season at Morehead State began as a program-building year. By the end of April, the Eagles had taken giant strides under Barkers tutelage and surprised the rest of the Ohio Valley Conference by finishing in third place at the OVC Champion-ship. In her second season, Barker helped guide the Eagles to three tournament titles and another third place finish at the OVC championships.

Her experience as a recruiter has already reaped benefits. She had three All-Conference performers in her first two years and her 2009 class of recruits included a transfer from Kentucky and a top-rated freshman. Marisa Kamelgarn went on to be named OVC Freshman of the Year in 2009-10. Her 2010 class included interna-tional talent from Sweden and Denmark.

Through this fall, Barkers Eagles have already won five events, placed in the top-five an impressive nine times, and have earned eight top-ten finishes.

Individually, the Eagles have domi-nated as well. Barkers players have won six individual trophies and have placed in the top-ten thirty-one times.

The Eagles have shown tremendous success in the classroom as well under Barker. Last year, four players were named All-American Scholars by the National Golf Coaches Association. The team consistently maintains a GPA over a 3.0 each season.

During her tenure at Kentucky, Barkers Wildcat squads consistently finished among the nations top 60 teams. She also saw many other outstanding academic and athletic achievements while at UK. Among them were:

Team improved its scoring average by more than seven strokes from 2001 to 2006

15 top five finishes, 21 top 10 finishes, three victories and two runners-up finishes

Team was ranked as high as 35th in the nation in 2005-06

Signed two players ranked in the top 50 by Golfweek

In 1995, she was a qualifier for both the Womens U.S. Open and the Womens British Open. She was a member of the LPGA teaching division from 1996-2006 and is now currently working on her PGA status. Barker won the 1996 Colorado Open.

A native of Carmel, Calif., and a gradu-ate of Oklahoma State University (1994), Barker was a four-time NCAA Championships qualifier for the OSU womens golf program. She earned First-Team All-America honors and was a three-time Academic All-America honoree. As a junior in 1992, she received the Edith Cummings Mun-son Award, which is given to the First-Team All-America golfer with the highest grade point average (3.67). After her senior season in 1993, she was named OSU Woman Athlete of the Year and Woman Athlete of the Year for the state of Oklahoma. In her four-year college career, Barker placed in the top-10 in 23 of 44 tourna-ments and finished in the top-five in all four of her Big VIII Championships. She currently ranks fourth in all-time single-season scoring average at the school.

Barker was a member of the Rio Mesa High School (Oxnard, Calif.) boys golf team. She led the team to two conference championships and won the Southern California High School Cham-pionship in 1989.

In addition to the bachelors degree she earned at Oklahoma State, Barker recently com-pleted a masters degree in kinesiology and health promotion at Kentucky in 2005. She and her husband, Jamie, have three children, Zack, Bailee and Alec Lee.

History of the Womens Golf Program

Pars, Birdies, eagles!M orehead State first fielded a womens golf program from 1981-83. With the purchase of Eagle Trace Golf Course in 2005, the University and Morehead community decided it was the optimal time to resurrect the womens golf program. The sport was added in the fall of 2007 and Stephanie Barker was chosen to rebuild the womens program and become its first ever full-time coach.

After a year of recruiting, Barker led More-head State into the 2008-09 season, the first Eagle team in 26 years. The successful season included multiple top-five finishes and culminated with a third-place tie at the Ohio Valley Championship.

The high conference finish put the other OVC teams on notice that the resurrection of the Morehead State program would not be a long process. Paige Lausier, a sophomore transfer from University of Kentucky, earned the programs first OVC Womens Golfer of the Week award, in addition to All-Conference honors. Lausier was one of two MSU players to be named to the

OVC All-Newcomer team. The success and quick resurrection of the program in just the first year set the stage for a sensational 2009-10 season.

The fall began with a win in a tri-match over OVC rival Eastern Kentucky and regional foe

Marshall, as well as an individual title for senior Darlene Bognot. Freshman Marisa Kamelgarn, who was second in the tri-match, placed sixth against an extremely competitive field at Louis-villes Cardinal Cup. Her performance brought MSU another OVC Womens Golfer of the Week award, an honor she earned again the following week by taking medalist honors at the Cincinnati Fall Invitational. Kamelgarn also finished tied for second with Lausier at the Austin Peay Intercollegiate.

Strong play from sophomore Emma Jnsson throughout her tenure has also proven to be essential to the young teams success. Jnsson notched two top-five and one top-10 finishes for the 2009 season. The experience of players like Lausier, Jnsson, and Bognot combined with the emergence of newcomers Marisa Kamelgarn and Emma Eksell led the Eagles to tournament wins at the 2009 Austin Peay Fall Intercollegiate and a tie for first at the 2009 Cincinnati Fall Invitational.

The 2010 spring season was just as impressive for the Eagles. MSU hosted the Ocala Spring Invitational in Ocala, Fla., and finished fourth. Later that spring, the Eagles claimed another team title at the EKU Invitational as Kamelgarn finished second individually and Lausier finished fourth. The OVC championships were held in Dickson, Tenn., and MSU again took third place in the rain-shortened event.

Morehead State opened the 2010 Fall season with yet another win as MSU dominated the Mar-shall-MSU-EKU Tri-Match with a school record 292 total. Lausier and Kamelgarn tied for medal-ist honors. Jonsson began a streak of absolutely unbelievable play the following weeks she won the Murray State Drake Creek Invitational and

helped the Eagles win the team title. Three weeks later, she claimed medalist honors again at the Tribe Invitational in Virginia and the Eagles fin-ished second by just one stroke. Through the fall campaign, Jonsson had three top 10 finishes and

boasted the OVCs second best scoring average.MSU womens golf also got some recogni-

tion on the national scene. When the fall season concluded, the Eagles were ranked as high as 81st nationally by GolfWeek and 88th by Golf Stat collegiate rankings.

The Eagles also continued to boast a roster with international flair. Freshmen Amalie Munck joined the team from Denmark, and Sofia Pettersson came to MSU from Sweden, joining fellow country-women Karolina Tunstig and Emma Eksell.

With a young team, excellent facilities and a seasoned head coach whose experience as a player and coach makes her an exceptional mentor, More-head State womens golf is positioned perfectly for sustained success with Pars, Birdies and Eagles!


2009-10 First-Team All-OVCMarisa Kamelgarn and Emma Jnsson.

Now in its 63rd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nations

eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois Univer-sity Edwardsville as the leagues 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVCs geographi-cal footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Sam-ford) in 2003.

The 2009-10 school year saw a change in lead-ership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences.

The OVCs proud history past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at East-ern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institu-tions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC.

In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. Dur-ing times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans.

In the late 1970s, womens athletics began somewhat of a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing womens sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC established womens championships in the

sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of womens programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982.

The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Schol-ar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioners Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSI-DA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 192 student-athletes honored with the award, including 25 over the last two years (2008-09, 2009-10).

Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contribu-tions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Conference has also implemented the OVC Insti-tutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sport-specific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethi-cal conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA.

The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always gov-erned the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme.

The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the fol-lowing sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and bas-ketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, ten-nis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined mens and womens sport of rifle.

Welcome To

Morehead StateMeeting the educational needs of East Kentucky while striving to constantly improve the quality of its public service, economic

development and applied research programs are the primary objectives of Morehead State University.

Historically, the University traces its lineage to the Morehead Normal School, which opened its doors in 1887. The private school closed in the spring of 1922 when the Kentucky General Assembly established Morehead State Normal School. The state institution accepted its first students in the fall of 1923 and graduated its first class in 1927. Name changes occurred in 1926 when and Teachers College was added, again in 1930 when it was shortened to More-head State Teachers College, again in 1948 when Teachers was dropped and, finally, to university status in 1966. Thirteen men, start-ing with Frank C. Button, have served as presi-dent. Dr. Wayne D. Andrews assumed the office on Jan. 1, 2005.

Academically, the University offers 76 under-graduate degree programs, including eight asso-ciate level degrees and 12 pre-professional pro-grams in four colleges -- Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; Business and Public Affairs; Education; and Science and Technology -- and 20 academic departments. There are 71 graduate degree programs plus 40 graduate level nonde-gree programs designed especially for profes-sional educators. The education specialist degree in five specialty areas also is offered. A masters degree for physician assistants, social workers and a cooperative doctoral program, all with

the University of Kentucky, are available on the MSU campus. In 2010, the University began its doctorate in education (Ed.D.) in educational leadership degree.

Classes are conducted in Ashland, Jackson, Maysville, Mt. Sterling, Pikeville, Prestonsburg, West Liberty and other locations. Regional campus-es--located in Ashland, Jackson, Mt. Sterling, Pre-

stonsburg and West Liberty--are staffed with full-time directors. Additionally, the University offers a number of distance learning courses throughout the region via the Internet and interactive compressed video. Sixty-seven percent of MSUs 370 full-time faculty members hold doctoral degrees.

Physically, the University is located in the foothills of the Daniel Boone National Forest in

Rowan County. The main campus, nearly 500-acres located within the city limits of Morehead, includes more than 50 major structures with a total replacement value of more than $144 million. Beyond the city, the Universitys real estate holdings include the 320-acre Derrickson Agricultural Complex and Eagle Trace, a par-72, 6,902-yard public golf course. The instruc-

Morehead State University believes that Intercollegiate Athletics is an integral part of the University and that a broad-based intercollegiate athletics program encourages student participation and involvement in the

total life of the University. In addition, intercollegiate athletic programs play a positive role by supporting the academic and public service missions of the University.

Dear Friends:

Morehead State University is committed to upholding the highest integrity within all procedures and practices of the ath-letic department. We are pleased to publish this note as a reference to understanding often confusing NCAA regulations.

The NCAA defines representatives of athletic interests as alumni, friends and boosters of the University. All member institutions are held accountable for their representatives actions. One violation could jeopardize the eligibility of any or all Eagle athletic programs.

As a general rule, anyone who has financially supported Eagle Athletics, been a member of any booster organization, or who has supported Eagle Athletics is considered a representative of Eagle Athletics.

Prospective student-athletes can be defined as a student who has started classes in the ninth grade or any younger student-athlete who has received a benefit from the institution. These individuals may only be recruited by MSU coaches who have passed the NCAA Recruiting Rules Examination. While representatives of Eagle Athletics may speak to any of these individu-als via telephone or in person, a recruiting effort must not be made. Also, no student-athlete or prospective student-athlete may receive any extra benefit outside of the support provided by the institution. For any questions regarding this description, please contact me at 606-783-5136.

These are certainly not all the regulations any representative of Eagle Athletics must remember. However, they provide a good outline of the types of things that could endanger the eligibility of any MSU Athletics program. Again, feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Thanks again for your support of Morehead State Athletics.

Sincerely,

Richard Fletcher Associate Director of Athletics/Compliance
